According to a press statement on Friday, the unfortunate incident took place at Gojra on August 1,2009.
The competent authority had appointed Mr Justice Iqbal Hameed-ur-Rehman as one-man inquiry tribunal on 2-08-2009 for finding out facts about the sad episode.
A full-fledged campaign was also launched through media to create awareness amongst the people, persuading them to appear before the Tribunal for recording their statements.
Justice Iqbal Hameed-ur-Rehman commenced inquiry proceedings on August 3. He visited the place of the incident and, later on, held day-to-day inquiry proceedings at his Camp Office at Gojra.
The Tribunal held proceedings at the Principal Seat of the LHC only for a couple of days for recording statements of the local officials.
It recorded the statements of 580 affectees, and also the voluntary witnesses. It took two months to complete the comprehensive report.
